was going to enforce " the May laws " in
California, in consequence of which the

pay visit to the Czar of Russia, and lay
before his majesty new plan by which he
can save himself and his dynasty from the
Nihilists, rule the country peacefully, in
crease the revenues thereof, and secure the
affection of the people. We do not doubt

lady. The injured dame on hearing John s
audacious request gave him severe whack
